Spotted Flycatcher - Muscicapa striata
This is an undistinguished looking bird with long wings and tail. The adults have grey-brown upperparts and whitish underparts, with a streaked crown and breast, giving rise to the bird's common name. The legs are short and black, and the bill is black and has the broad but pointed shape typical of aerial insectivores. Juveniles are browner than adults and have spots on the upperparts.
Spotted flycatchers hunt from conspicuous perches, making sallies after passing flying insects, and often returning to the same perch. Their upright posture is characteristic.
They are birds of deciduous woodlands, parks and gardens, with a preference for open areas amongst trees. They build an open nest in a suitable recess, often against a wall, and will readily adapt to an open-fronted nest box. 4-6 eggs are laid.
Most European birds cannot discriminate between their own eggs and those of other species. The exception to this are the hosts of the common cuckoo, which have had to evolve this skill as a protection against that nest parasite. The spotted flycatcher shows excellent egg recognition, and it is likely that it was once a host of the cuckoo, but became so good at recognising the intruder's eggs that it ceased to be victimised. A contrast to this is the dunnock, which appears to be a recent cuckoo host, since it does not show any egg discrimination.

Laughter is both an opposite and an equal
to falling
For both moments of humanity
You forget about your physical Pain
Poverty
Genocide
Discrimination
and are simply complex molecules moving
Dancing frantically
Trying like mad to keep you alive.

The psychoanalyst Erich Fromm distinguishes between two types of hate:
Reactive Hate
It is always the result of a deep injury or a painful situation, it is powerless against, because they can not change on their own. Erich Fromm writes: "In reactive hate I mean a response that due to an attack on my life, my safety, my ideals, or to another person, whom I love and with whom I am identified.
Reactive hatred always presupposes that someone has a positive outlook on life to other people and ideals. Who is strong life-affirming, will react accordingly if his life is threatened."

Love is the Force of Life & the World Cannot Be Without It
May love overcome all the hate and finally join us together so we may work as a worldwide team. We should tear down all the barriers, race, religious, sexual orientation and all discrimination it is time to live together in peace!!! We should and can make it happen!
As of today, people in Bavaria who do not have gene therapy substances administered to them are largely excluded from social life by the so-called 2G rule;
and this, although there is no difference to the syringe recipients in terms of transmissibility of the Covid-19 disease.
Some speak of 'vaccination apartheid' and discrimination -
some compare these rules (the exclusion of a group of people) with events in the period around 1938.
In my opinion, they are right.
a wonderful, intelligent and caring woman who led a life of integrity, grace and kindness while being a strong advocate for equal justice and eliminating discrimination of all types.
The so called "Proud Boys" are the white supremacist group Trump is so fond of. They have done nothing in their lives to be actually be proud of and they live through their white privilege and by their oppression of others. And yet, they can't even walk in their own communities without a gun and they can't walk into stores with their mask on because no one better impinge on their freedom to cause harm to whomever they wish.
Pride and humans with pride is about having a sense of who you are and living through grace and kindness...of doing the right thing and not being afraid to do the right thing even though you may have been oppressed for your gender identification or orientation. This is something to truly be proud of. This is who are world needs now not those who live by hate and rule by fear.

the little girl with red ribbon on hair watching cultural show from a distance..... her father is so poor that he can't take off from his business (selling handmade cone ice-cream ) when all people are enjoying the festival. but she wants to join the festival so he take her with him on the place of his business rather near the stage.

This photo is a tribute to my beloved brother Derek, who suffers discrimination because of his sexual orientation, however, he is lucky because in our family he gets all the support and love he can wish for, and he has an older brother who loves him madly. Unfortunately, I can't always be by his side to protect him and that hurts me deeply.
The discrimination, harassment and mockery of people who do not think, feel or physically do not enter the canons of "normality" is an attitude of insane cowardice. Maybe another century needs to pass so that this kind of cruelty does not happen, I really have that hope.
Ich liebe dich Bruderherz.
"I may get along, when love is gone
Still, you made your mark, here in my heart
One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
I follow the night
Can't stand the light
When will will I begin
My life again?
One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do fot me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day when dreaming ends"

When all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free.

It is our inability to recognize these differences and only see people based on their gender or the color of their skin is what is hurting the human race. We must learn to get to know people and value their differences.
Audre Lorder
We are all different which makes us all equal. We all have different skills and weaknesses that make us who we are . Every one of us. This should make us come together and celebrate these differences. We are all individuals because of how different we all are from each other.

And last but not least, my daughter, Karen's poem:
COMING TOGETHER
Asian, Latin, European, African,
Native, Indigenous, Foreign, Alien,
Descriptions that fall short,
vague splotches on the canvas of life.
All have but one heart that beats,
blood is but one color.
Flesh and Features, each unique
Organs and muscles, identical.
Each face a work of art
each mark distinctively it's own.
The beauty of our differences
far surpasses mere mortal comprehension.
Each unmatched culture,
its own vibrant combination of colors and sounds,
the pulsing of a nation, a people.
These different beats unite,
to make the music of our world.
As each exceptional voice blends with the other,
the harmony of humanity rises
high above the dark clouds of oppression and ignorance.
North, South, East, West,
a baby's cry is but the same.
The pang of hunger and indifference
changes not with skin color.
In the ears of every mother and father
every sister and brother
the cries of oppression should ring loud.
A call to action, a call to save our human family.
Our differences are but brush strokes on this canvas,
each unique in shape and color
when viewed together.....
form the masterpiece of mankind.
By Karen Murray Lewis

We need to all fight for our children to grow up in a world where racism is not prevalent, where lives are not limited and where people are truly judged on their character and not the color of their skin. It boggles my mind sometimes how far from Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream we still are. We have a congress that wants to take away health care, some of these same congressman are saying they honor Martin Luther King Jr. today even though King said, “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.” — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
And we have a president who says the most racist things that one can possibly imagine any political leader ever saying. Where does that leave us in the world today? That leaves us, no matter what our race is, to not be silent and to be vocal in the streets. We must stand up for this next generation of beautiful children to have access to a quality public education, to quality health care, to highly skilled jobs, to in all accounts the pursuit of happiness, to an environment that has stabilized and to liberty.
Sometimes, it is really difficult for me, even though I am white, to not despair myself. I feel like our nation has taken steps backwards not forwards with Trump and all the beautiful children I help, regardless of race, I want them to have a life that entails all of these things. But, I also truly believe that if King were alive today, he would encourage people to not give up the fight. We have to remember, as Americans, our country is only worthwhile if we fight for the best it can be and can offer all of our immigrants and citizens both.
Dr. King also said, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." We should all make an effort to be kinder, to listen to each other, to be compassionate and to reveal insight and light as a counter to arguments that support discrimination. We are at a time when we all have to fight for human rights. Protests were even less popular during Martin Luther King's time period and he gave his life fighting for justice. Let us be inspired by his bravery not just today but in all days going forwards.
Tolerance, not discrimination. Fairness, not hypocrisy. Substance, not superficiality. Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not secrecy. Justice, not lawlessness. Environmental improvement and preservation, not destruction. Truth, not lies :-)

Discrimination has come to have such negative connotations. When... really... it's a quality we couldn't live without. All things are not created equal. That includes us. And... really... it would be ridiculous to think that we... subjective creatures that we are... could feel the same about everyone and everything.
Discriminating simply means (or can simply mean) differentiating among different things. Is it bad to love apples and not pears? Is it wrong to prefer silk to polyester? Or chocolate to vanilla?
What about vertebrates over invertebrates? Or furry things over slippery ones? Or things with faces over things without faces? Or mammals or over insects?
I'll come clean. I discriminate against slugs, snails and caterpillars. Most other critters I can find redeeming qualities in. These guys? Ugh.
Although...
I've read that slugs are the only things that eat dog poop. And I guess that's a good thiing, considering the number of people in my neighbourhood who don't (grrrr) clean up after their dogs.
Um... go slugs go? And what about the snails? Surely they have some redeeming quality. Oh... I know. The shells.
But those are only good once the snails are dead. Meantime... sorry snail lovers... this photo totally makes me cringe.

It goes with an article about the violence against Jewish people:
there has been a recent growth of hate crimes in Holland, and especially Amsterdam apparently.
Jewish men are afraid to wear their Kippah since it seems to make them an easy target.
Very sad development and worrying given the fact that the Netherlands used to be very liberal.
Hence for example Amsterdam's nickname 'the Gay Capital".
Not any more though..
I was told to not make the boys on the left unrecognizable, to avoid stigmatization of yet another ethnic minority.
Still given the statistics that seems a little odd to me.

This is a poem I adore... ,
I dedicate this poem to my grandmother who died in a faraway country, but by my side
It was one of her favorite poems!
...............................................................................................................♥
"Life, death, death, life; the words have led for ages
Our thought and consciousness and firmly seemed
Two opposites; but now long-hidden pages
Are opened, liberating truths undreamed.
Life only is, or death is life disguised,
Life a short death until by Life we are surprised.
All Nature is taught in radiant ways to move,
All beings are in myself embraced.
O fiery boundless Heart of joy and love,
How art thou beating in a mortal’s breast !
It is Thy rapture flaming through my nerves
And all my cells and atoms thrill with Thee ;
My body thy vessel is and only serves
As a living wine-cup of Thy ecstasy.
I am a centre of Thy golden light
And I its vast and vague circumference,
Thou art my soul great, luminous and white
And Thine my mind and will and glowing sense.
Thy spirit’s infinite breath I feel in me;
My life is a throb of Thy eternity".

Is this not a small world that we all live in? Much too small to waste room with hate, belief of superiority, or discrimination.
London, Ohio
This is 2020 yet based on the recent events, it feels like it's the 1800s. As I have commented on some previous posts, there are many things that are wrong in our modern societies. What we saw happening in Minneapolis is not an isolated event. Throughout the years we've witnessed racial discrimination, we've seen people being mistreated based on the color of their skin. This issue is not political and as such racism should be condemned by everybody, no matter where they stand politically. I know that this is not a US thing only, however it feels like here it's happening more than anywhere else in the world. It feels like this society was built on "crooked" foundations. And maybe it was, as slavery played a key role, mostly on the Southern States, on how this country evolved through the years and became a world power. But this is not 1874, this is not a sugar plantation in Louisiana. We heard the words "I can't breath" in 2014 when Eric Garner was choked to death by a NYPD officer. 6 years later not much has changed. We heard the exact same words as George Floyd was suffocated by a Minneapolis PD officer. The names and the places don't matter, as history is repeating and innocent lives are lost. Sadly, in the name of these lives people are acting in a way that generates more hatred. Looting and setting Police Departments on fire is not the solution. It will only make things worse and inevitably, we will see more people die. When will this end?
There's no discrimination down around Trafalgar Square.
During our walkabout we came across a different sort of crossing light, this is one of them.
I'm guessing that at some point someone decided that having a generic stick figure walking was racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, etc, etc so the city decided they would spend the money to have these lights installed. Seems like a silly way to be spending the public funds in my opinion but then I'm an old traditionalist!
This was shot in (M)anual, I did give the light a little color boost because it looked pretty faded in the original. I think it might have something to do with it being LED and the frequency they operate at. May be something the camera had a hard time catching.
Yes, this is a real photograph taken with a real camera, not a Computer Rendered Artificial Picture!

It is so easy to say I love you or we love you. First of all we need to treat each other equal and we hope for the world of no discrimination.
It is my personal experience that I have seen people reacting so differently when you are NOT wearing a mask during this period of pandemic. In some other communities on the other hand I read on the news some people discriminate against people who are wearing masks and view the mask wearing people as sick persons.
There are so many reasons a person is wearing or not wearing a mask. And this should not be reason for you to treat them differently.
I may be framing the picture a little too tight. I want to remind that there are two persons in the scene. One wearing mask and another one does not.
Have a good Easter weekend!

The Sam Kee (Jack Chow) Building at six feet two inches wide is one of the world’s narrowest freestanding office buildings.
Built by Chang Toy (Chang Toy, known to the non-Chinese community of Vancouver as Sam Kee) in 1913 it is a designated Vancouver heritage building.
In 1912, Toy hired architects Brown and Gillam to design the narrow rivited steel framed structure topped off with a second storey of bay windows.
The reason for the building's unique slimness is an example of disrespect and racism against Chinese-Canadians by the Vancouver civic authorities.
Due to Toy’s Chinese ancestry, and the fact that the property he owned was in Chinatown, the Vancouver civic authority did not respect his title to the land and stole nearly all of Toy’s property in order to widen Pender Street, leaving Toy with a shallow property that was only 6 ft deep.
Toy facing this adversity still managed to build the free-standing building that was extremely successful hosting retail shops, residential units, and social gatherings.
Toy’s resilience to this blatant discrimination by still creating a successful business on the extremely reduced property more broadly displays the strength of the Chinese-Canadian community in fighting against racism and discrimination.
Since the building’s erection in 1913, the Sam Kee has played a prominent role in the conservation of Vancouver’s Chinatown. Today, the Sam Kee is owned by businessman Jack Chow.
This is not my best protest photo but in a city where ICE is cracking down in force, I could not risk outing someone who could be put in a camp/deported just to put a more personal human element into a movement. There's a whole set of photos like that you can refer to if you really want. I'm not posting this because it's a good photo (it isn't) I'm posting this because it's a reminder that we all have a choice to say no to corruption and to say yes to human rights. We must do these both simultaneously and with every molecule in our body.
I wanted to talk a little bit about what is happening in America right now. If you did not already know, there have been even more for profit concentration camps set up for people who have come here fleeing persecution, seeking a better life. This is an abomination paid for by our tax dollars and many of our politicians are invested in these camps, making money to inevitably fund their next campaigns and the viciousness continues and profit over people continues to be the theme. We've lost our souls.
I don't know how to be more hopeful. The good people in this country, the 70% of us are being held hostage against our wills by a hostile treasonous fascist who literally doesn't even know they didn't have airports back in 1776, an idiot who couldn't pass preschool and yet, the fact that he is a serial rapist and a treasonous coward is even worse. He is an unforgivable murderer. If he truly represents America, all I have left instead of my patriotism is true horror for what this country has become.
These deaths are on our hands. Their blood is on our consciousness. It is a gift to receive an immigrant. And all these people who are pro death camps all happen to call themselves "pro life" It's laughable. They just merely want to control women's bodies.
Every day, I wake up a little more hopeless and helpless, I have to be honest. Over the last three years, I've been to protests downtown, in airports, I've called congresspeople in multiple states, donated money to progressives, signed too many petitions to count, done phone banking, and tried to be a genuinely kind person to all in my every day interactions.
Above all is the narrative stream in my mind, is the kindness enough? Is it? I don't know. I really don't know. Is kindness greater than greed, greater than all the blood money? Is it? Because people have been protesting since the 1960s for basic human rights, for an end to racial discrimination and for universal healthcare, for equal rights among the sexes and for the LGBTQ community, for an end to war and look where we are right now. It's hard to believe that anything any of us non billionaires do make a difference.
But I do know this and I believe this...they want us to be as complacent as possible, to get us numbed with constant breaking news, to gaslight us into believe that when Trump says he'd collude again that's totally fine and not surprising at all. They want us to stay at home, do nothing, turn on the tv, have a pint of whiskey to numb our pain-that sort of thing. That's what they are banking on. Whatever you do, live as a light in the darkness. If it makes no difference in the grand scheme, at least you tried.
But, I bet it will make a difference to someone.
